Wednesday President Obama awarded Paul McCartney the Gershwin Prize for Popular Song - a lifetime achievement award given by the Library of Congress. Upon receiving the award, McCartney said, "after the last eight years, it's great to have a president who knows what a library is."

So in Friday, House Minority Leader John Boenher demanded an apology from McCartney. Boner is quoted as saying, "Like millions of other Americans, I have always had a good impression of Paul McCartney and thought of him as a classy guy, but I was surprised and disappointed by the lack of grace and respect he displayed at the White House," the Ohio Republican said in a statement provided to CNN. "I hope he'll apologize to the American people for his conduct which demeaned him, the White House and President Obama."

Give me a break!! Boner seems to have some pretty thin skin, especially for a politician.
